Is there any data on how developed America would be with only whites? What about only blacks? What about only hispanics? What about only asians and whites?

It would be physically impossible then for hispanics to be a net drain on the economy.

This argument assumes social services is the only economic cost of wetbacks. This is false.

Secondly, it takes much more than $2.8 trillion worth of economic throughput to generate $1 trillion in surplus funding for social services

Third, of the $2.8 trillion in GDP, a large portion of this is going back to Hispanics. If a wetback sells me a taco for a dollar, that is a lift in GDP and income for the wetback. The $2.8 trillion includes money paid to wetbacks.

Lastly, simply adding up hispanic GDP doesn't provide any economic consideration for substitution. For example, if a wetback sells me a taco for lunch for $1, he lifts GDP. If the taco stand isn't there, am I going to skip lunch? No, I buy a hot dog from a Joe instead, substituting a taco for a hot dog, still lifting GDP. Of the $2.8 trillion, many of these transactions would still occur, without the wetbacks.
